The Westbeach in Bournemouth.

Good English restaurants exist

Good English restaurants exist, many people think they are few and far between, but here are a couple to consider. The Westbeach restaurant in Bournemouth is certainly worth a visit, great location on the beach, with a good menu offering a nice selection. I first visited Westbeach December 2007 then returned in 2009 so things may have changed.

The Mission has great atmosphere and very good food.

The Well at Buckington, Wiltshire.

Here are my nieces Laura & Elyssa hamming it up at the Well in Bulkington, a nice English pub with good food.

The Bridge Tea Room, Bradford on Avon

One of Britain’s Great Tea Rooms is in Bradford on Avon, the afternoon ritual of serving tea has been developed to a fine art here, and is so accomplished that the Bridge Tea Rooms has been recognized as excellent by the prestigious UK Tea Guild for many years. Delicate bone china, the finest leaf teas, and friendly staff in Victorian costumes serving home-made cakes, pastries and sandwiches. Housed in a former blacksmith’s cottage dating from 1502, the Bridge Tea Rooms positively oozes atmosphere, and the classical music playing gently in the background sets a tranquil tone.

If you are ever in this delightful village make sure you visit this tea room.

MY LOVELY NIECE LOVED THE SCONES.

Laura really loved the scones.

My other lovely niece Elyssa preferred the sponge cake.

Either one would do me.

La Chateaux Du Vin in Brighton

The Bath Arms Hotel in Brighton

A terrific ham & salad sandwich.

The Par Inn, Cornwall

This is definitely not one of the Good English restaurants, worst Cornish pasties I’ve ever tasted were here. The reason I paid this town a visit was because it was the birth place of my grandfather Sam Tippett.

Thanks for visiting my Good English restaurants exist photo blog.
